We caved last week - my summertime obsession about the baby overheating has switched (much like the weather) into an obsession about him being too cold. Which is hard when he wriggles his socks and hat off, and screams the house down if you try and shoehorn him into a cardi or jumper. Blankets and heating it is then.
Unsurprisingly there's another casserole in the oven as I type, and dumplings ready to be popped in before too much longer. This weather just seems to call for tender, slow cooked meat in rich winey gravies with lots of root veggies. Full marks to Aldi for their Super 6 this week being fantastic for said casserole.
The weaning is... shall we say interesting? Some days the baby rice stays down and seems to have the same effect on Harry's milk, on other days it doesn't seem to make a blind bit of difference. I'm keeping on, and just hoping for the best.
Breakfasts - we're back on porridge, with chopped up banana
Lunches - I'm randomly trying to use up some halloumi that's languishing in the fridge so - griddled halloumi and houmous in pitta bread with carrot and cucumber sticks
Dinners -
Monday: Leftover beef casserole with mashed potatoes and broccoli
Tuesday: Courgetti spaghetti
Wednesday: Chilli con carne (freezer) with rice
Thursday: Chicken casserole with baked potatoes
Friday: Pizza
Saturday: Pesto & pecorino salmon with sweet potato wedges and veggies
Sunday: Slow cooked beef brisket
Lots of comfy, cosy food for chillier evenings here. What goes on your menu when the weather changes?
